Trainspotter Posted October 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2007 Manhattan: Body Found in Subway A man was found dead early yesterday inside a little-used section of subway tracks near the Delancey/Essex Street station, the police said. Subway workers found the man about 1 a.m., lying in a niche near the station with his feet touching the electrified third rail, the police said. The man was said to be in his 50s.

R1Toasty Posted October 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 24, 2007 Perhaps his train just wasn't coming, so he figured he'd improvise, but quickly found out he can't run off of a third rail. Or suicide, depends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted October 25, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 25, 2007 Most likely a homeless person that tripped and fell or committed suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracknut Posted October 25, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 25, 2007 It doesn't say if the body was found on the main line or a unused section of track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil D. Posted October 25, 2007 Share #7 Posted October 25, 2007 A man was found dead early yesterday inside a little-used section of subway tracks near the Delancey/Essex Street station Its little used, meaning not the main line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devb Posted November 2, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 2, 2007 It was either the unused track section east of Bowery or the F/JMZ connector line.. there's still a few people living down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted November 7, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 7, 2007 There are people still living down there, I dont think I have ever seen a homeless person enter a tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
